It is generally believed that many of those with bipolar disorder also struggle with alcoholism or substance abuse. Researchers, as well as many of those caught in the cycle of addiction, believe the use of these substances is an attempt to alleviate symptoms or to "self-medicate."

I'm Obsessed

Ok...it's late, I'm tired, and I can't stop editing my blog page. I keep wanting to change the design and am not satisfied. This is how I am leaving it for now...

I am working with a psychiatrist on lowering one of my medications...it's been one week and I seem to be doing well. It is the anti-depressant I am coming off of and I don't feel too down.

My motto is to be on the least amount of medication possible, while staying stable. I know not to completely come off everything, but am wise enough to know excessive amounts can be bad.
